Charging by mileage is the first step towards selling insurance as part of purchasing fuel. Those that travel more miles buy more fuel, thus pay more for insurance.

The only hope here is that miles driven is the least recognized factor in computing rate. Those of us in rural areas may drive longer distances but have less traffic to deal with and less chance of an accident.

I agree 100% on personal accident frequency being the primary determinate of rate, but for the most part it already is.
The concern however is for those that have had no losses. If miles driven is a bigger factor than where you drive, the rate will inordinately favor those urbah drivers that are surrounded by morons looking to run into them.
